the Supreme Court az constituted
for many years, and the
docket, as a consequence, be-
came hopelessly blocked and beyond
any power in its more industrious and
working members to remedy. The
new court, undismayed by this block

rule II laid down when first organized,
made short work OF ii, and with it the

refreshingly rare in the history OF the
State, aud worthy the most fastering

citizens should, by their presence at

The long talked OF game between
the cotton buyers and factors was
played at Citizens Baseball Park yee-
terdsy afternoon, and resulted in a
victory for the factors, they making
seventeen runs while the buyers sent
only fifteen men over the plate. The
game was closely contested, and the
factors won by a scratch. There were
about 800 persons present, and two.
thirds Of them were ladies'. The game
was for the benefit Of the orphans,
hence the large attendance OF the fair
sex. Seven hundred tickets were
taken in at the gate, and it
is safe to say that the
game netted the orphans about
$500. Both teams played nicely at
times, and there were no broken
fingers, sprained ankles or other
casualties. Mr.. Johr 0verton UNI
pired the game to the perfect sat.

and strikes were very good, while his
base decisions were excellent. The

Street Grading.

EDITOR HERALD In your issue of
to-day l see that you complain OF the
difficulty of getting contractors to bid
on the grading of the different streets
that are being advertised, and that
the City Council were thinking OF ad-
vertising in San Francisco papers for
bids, etc. Now, sir, there are several
reasons why contractors are shy OF
street grading. For the past three
years the contractor has had to deal
with and look for his pay from every
property owner on the street that he
is grading, and in many cases has had
trouble in getting it. Thanks to City
Attorney Daily this state of affairs has
been changed, and street improve
ments are now being done under the
charter, SO the contractor can deal di-
rectly with the city. But this class Of
work has all been going too cheap
Nearly all the old-time contractors
have gone broke; many of them have
Jumped the town and failed to pay
their help; others have quit street
grading in disgust; only those who
own their outfits of teams, ETC., car
do the work at the prices. Look a
the Beaudry excavation on New Higl
street. 1t was let for 25 cents pc
cubic yard. The contractor, notwith
standing he worked to the best advan
tage, failed before he was half through

A Correction.

In regard to the statement concern
ing the death of j. Alonzo Fisher,
that it was hastened because he failed
to receive degree of Phi. D. from the
Johns Hopkins University, it should
be stated that he left the Johns Hop
kins after two years study, with
credit and position; that he carried
and completed his course in the Uni
versity at Syracuse, N. Y, and re-
ceived his degrees from that institu-
ton. He could not expect degree
from the Johns Hopkins University,
because he was transferred with
honor to the Syracuse University,
which gave him his degrees.
